SICK

June 22, 2010

Woke up at 1 am with a burning fever and stayed awake the rest of the night trying to find a happy medium between freezing my butt off and cooling my head down. I have never been happier to see the sun peeking through the zipper of my tent, bringing promises of warmth and human activity. I proceeded to spend the entire day confined to this tiny abode, covered in blankets, not covered in blankets, and munching on some rice krispies every now and again. So much for habitat assessment. I'm dreading the sun going down again, and hope this was just some 24 hour bug. I don't even know if I can make it up the hill to the fire tonight. *Crosses fingers* for a speedy recovery, otherwise this blog is going to be pretty boring. On a brighter note, I discovered that the outside of my tent is a super-sweet hangout for side-striped skinks. I watch them scurry around all day. Ah, here's one right now, coming to look at me through the mesh window. That's as exciting as this post is going to get.

P.S. If you're excited for pictures (so am I) you'll have to be patient. There is no way I can get them up in the near future, as I don't have access to any computers. In fact, these posts have either been put up by Paul or my mom. There are really good pics so far though, and I can't wait to put them up.
